Re: The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown

I think Aladdin is fine, but it always feels to me like Robin Williams's genie overwhelms the rest of the film. Did not make my list.

Rob Marshall has had a hit-or-miss career, but Chicago was a...

Yep, here's two more of mine. I think Fiddler on the Roof wavers a bit in the second half, but it was still strong enough to be my #15. Still think it's wild that Topol pulled off this role in his...

We're now into my part of the countdown, I guess.

Labyrinth is a little dopey, it must be admitted, but also kind of gonzo, which makes it my kind of movie, so I snuck it onto my list at the back...

I liked Moulin Rouge! well enough, just not well enough to put it on my list.

The Music Man, on the other hand, is great fun with good, classic musical music, if you follow me. Also, it's of...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown

I'm pretty meh on Yankee Doodle Dandy (and I'm not the only one, it seems). That Thing You Do is a lot of fun but I didn't vote for it.

Huh, I could have sworn that I've seen Les Misérables, but I can't find any record of having done so. Then again, that was the year my son was born and I spent half of it crazed from sleep...

I said before that Sing Street was the one film I wanted to see for this countdown, but I guess a second one would have been The Young Girls of Rochefort.

Okay, cool, here are two more of mine. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was my #16. The first and still among the best of Disney's animated features. Phantom of the Paradise is pretty nuts which is...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown

Sing Street was the one film I really wanted to get to before voting, but alas, I did not manage it. All the more reason now.

Nashville was my #24, one of the small number of films I voted for...

I thought An American in Paris was fine, but I was slightly underwhelmed with it relative to its reputation. C'est la vie.

Yes, that's the one! I've been a member since about 2002. The Henson exhibit is a lot of fun and in general the museum curates top-notch exhibits and film series. Highly recommended to anyone living...

Re: do you get many trick or treaters?

We probably had somewhere between 700 and 900. Halloween is big in our neighborhood.

Stingray Sam I haven't seen, but it does sound intriguing.

The Muppet Movie was my #2. It's possible I've seen this movie more than any other. We had it on VHS when I was a kid and I never tired...

I liked but did not love The Lure, but it's odd enough that it's probably worth another look.

Two more whiffs for me. I do like Hugh Jackman, though, so I may give that a go someday. Fred Astaire is fine, he can dance a little.

I saw Annie again recently for the first time in forever. It was ... fine. I'm not sure if John Huston really had the knack for musicals, but I also don't think it's particularly strong musically.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown

Frozen is solid and fun. Not on my list, but definitely worthy. I've mentioned that Tim Burton is not always my cup of tea, so I haven't had a strong urge to get to Corpse Bride.

These are two more that I have seen, though I'm not a big fan of either. The animated Jungle Book is at least preferable to the recent, annoying "live action" version. I could not get into 1776 at...
